I installed from factory right after rc1 was announced. YaST2 is still
quite broken in it. Instead of installing again, I want to update.
Someone a short time ago here posted
http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2006/04/how-to-use-smart-with-suse-linux.html
and I thought I'd try that. Following the directions "we have to remove
the existing smart channels for 10.1", I got a lot of confirmation
requests, all of which I answered yes to. I couldn't figure out from the
man page how to do the upgrade, so I managed to install smart-gui using
rpm. I selected update all, but that took a very few minutes, updating
maybe a dozen or so packages.

In /etc/smart/channels are the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187 Apr 13 22:24 packman-gwdg.channel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-base-gwdg.channel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 186 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-security-gwdg.channel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-update-gwdg.channel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165 Apr 13 22:24 suser-guru-gwdg.channel

Is that everything that needs to be there? I can't believe something
supposedly "smart" could find so few packages to upgrade, with YaST2
nowhere among them, unless I've missed something. Obviously I have. What
do I do next?
